Manulife named 2024 Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award Winner for Second Year in a Row 

Toronto – Manulife has received the 2024 Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award (GEWA) for the second year in a row, which reinforces our commitment to our people. This award recognizes the most engaged workplace cultures in the world.  

“This recognition is a reflection of the amazing commitment our talented global colleagues have to making lives better, for our customers, communities and each other.  Every day they are demonstrating our values and making our company a special place to work,” said Pam Kimmet, Chief Human Resources Officer, Manulife. 

“Congratulations to the 60 organizations that have redefined what it means to be a great place to work. Manulife commitment to creating environments where employees are listened to, valued and positioned to use their strengths every day is what sets you apart. Thank you for setting a new global standard in what it means to be a thriving workplace,” said Jon Clifton, Gallup Chief Executive Officer.  

The GEWA winners’ ratio of engaged employees to actively disengaged employees is 11 times higher than the global average. Worldwide, only 23% of employees are engaged — that is, committed to their work and connected to their workplace — and just 33% of employees in the U.S. workforce are engaged. Seventy percent of employees at winning GEWA organizations, including Manulife’s employees, are engaged.  

Gallup’s meta-analysis on team engagement and performance is the most comprehensive workplace study ever conducted, with data on more than 2 million employees in 276 organizations across 54 industries and 96 countries. Highly engaged organizations significantly outperform their peers in important business outcomes, including customer ratings, profitability, productivity, turnover, safety incidents, shrinkage, absenteeism, quality, wellbeing, and organizational citizenship.
